Together, these provide broad spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, plus blue light and infrared. The inclusion of the brand’s trademarked Fernblock antioxidant (plus vitamins C and E and green tea extract) further guards your skin against environmental aggressors too.

    What are the differences between physical and chemical sunscreens?

    The two main categories of sunscreens are physical sunscreens and chemical sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens work by absorbing the energy from UV rays and turning it into heat instead. Physical sunscreens ‘shield’ your skin, forming a physical barrier that mainly reflects the UV rays away from the skin instead (although they do absorb some of it).

     

    Do I really need to wear sunscreen everyday?

    While you might not burn if you don’t wear sunscreen everyday, if you are serious about preventing signs of ageing, such as fine lines and hyperpigmentation, then yes, wear your SPF everyday. That’s because you are exposed to UVA light even on seemingly sunless days, which could be having an ageing effect on your complexion.

     

    What does broad-spectrum sun protection mean?

    Broad-spectrum means that a sunscreen blocks both UVA and UVB rays. That’s important because both can damage your skin, with UVB mainly responsible for burning your skin and UVA for triggering damage that causes premature skin ageing.
